Pool Decks - Considerations on material selection

Pool decks are a great asset to your home, and will give you years of enjoyment with family and friends. You can use your pool deck for barbecues and outdoor parties, or just for relaxing summer weekends at home with the family. Pool decks come in an endless variety of shapes, sizes and styles, and can be built from a wide range of decking materials.

Choosing materials for pool decks.

Choosing the right decking material is probably the most important decision you need to make, because the material will determine the look of the deck, the cost, the amount of maintenance required and the length of the life of the deck.

The choice of materials for pool decks is very broad, and includes natural timber, composite timber decking material, brick pavers, tiles, natural granite or flagstone masonry, poured concrete and exposed aggregate.
